You'll have to test this for yourself, given your own server, database,
user load, email size, and other configuration parameters. DBMail is NOT a
one-size-fits-all system; it scales, but you have to help it scale.

We're single-threaded, so it's processes that we use. The numbers for each
of your questions is configurable. You can specify a minimum number of
processes, a maximum number of processes, and a maximum number of idle
processes. The child processes are stopped and started to fit these
parameters.

Yes.
